Abstract
The literature review in this capstone paper addresses the dynamic between Black female supervisees and supervisors. The author researched Black women’s experiences in supervision to fill a gap the current literature on the topic. Little research exists on the effect of the supervision dynamic on Black women. The research question for this literature review is "In what ways do supervisors' and supervisees' dynamic relationships impact Black women in counselling supervision?" The major findings include the following themes: the skewed power dynamics in supervision, the inference of metastereotypes in supervision, the internalisation of stereotypes, the experience of microaggressions in supervision, and cultural humility in supervision as a panacea. This study shows that Black women in counselling supervision risk multiple adverse effects from the supervision dynamic. The author makes recommendations for aspiring supervisees and supervisors to mitigate these challenges. The author also recommended relational-cultural theory, strength-based supervision, and an ecological-systems approach to future practice in the supervision of Black women. The study concludes with clinical recommendations for practice, future research questions, and a reflective statement.
